September 09 Newcastle vault Millwall into Carabao 4th Round
Matthias Jaissle named a near-full-strength team for the Carabao Cup third round tie at Millwall and, with the opponents suffering an injury crisis, smooth passage was expected... you be the judge.
Meanwhile, the team of senior executives who lead the club have been meeting a contingent of the press. Under discussion, the recent transfer window which saw a raft of changes in the squad (and one manager), as well as the financial impact of the business done.
The Lasses (TM) opened their WSL2 campaign with a relatively comfortable 2-0 win at home to promoted Wolves.

September 05 Matchday: Bournemouth (h), a glass half and half a glass
Newcastle United, even when they are flying, don't tend to beat Bournemouth, so perhaps a draw should be viewed as a positive result. Certainly, with Marco Rose's Cherries swarming us in the first half, many would have taken a point.
But, is there a fragility to NUFC in the defensive third, especially in central areas? And, can we get Fernandez-Pardo and others properly up to speed to maintain the momentum from the good start to the new Premier League season.
NUFC's women get their WSL2 campaign underway on Sunday with the visit of Wolverhampton to the Gateshead International Stadium. New skipper Rachel Mclaughlin sat down to discuss settling in the area and aiming for promotion.

September 02 Terminal Velocity: NUFC Transfer Deadline Review
Pod on the Tyne brings you an exhaustive review of Newcastle United's transfer business on Premier League deadline day.
A few weeks ago, fans were tearing their hair out with Bruno Guimaraes set to follow Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali through the exit door and only Ewen Jaouen coming in.
Today, things feel very different. Matthias Jaissle has replaced Eddie Howe and is unbeaten in his first three games in charge. Lille's Belgian forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo has just become the club's eighth senior signing.
Have NUFC successfully un*****ed themselves?

August 30 Matchday, Spurs (a): Plus ca change...
Had Tottenham's headline midfield signing been aware of the midweek PotT debacle that was "Sand-no Tott-nali" he must surely have thought things couldn't get any worse for him. And they didn't, but it was close.
While Nico Gonzalez immediately showed the qualities that made him a primary target for Newcastle United, his opposite number (ish) suffered a torrid first afternoon in front of his new supporters.
Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa have started the new season with a bang-bang and they provided the goals as Matthias Jaissle's men were good value for three points with a textbook away performance.

August 27 Nico Time: Gonzalez joins Jaissle's NUFC 2.0
Here we are then, the first* epic-length Pod on the Tyne of the Youtube era.
Newcastle United beat West Bromwich Albion in the Carabao Cup 2nd Round on Wednesday night in a game that was, ULTIMATELY SPEAKING, fairly comfortable. Yes, there were uncomfortable moments, but to paint the whole game with that brush would be nitpicking of the most annoying order.
Before the game, new signing Nico Gonzalez was paraded before the crowd at St James's Park. 'Mini-Rodri' as he was once called, albeit that may be a bit overblown, possesses real passing quality, of the sort not seen in Newcastle for quite some time.
All this happened in the week after David Hopkinson and his executive team announced the purchase of land at Woolsington Hall where they plan to develop a new 'world class' training facility.
Phew...
*Yes, it's probably the third

August 23 Matchday: Liverpool (h), King Kev and ****s
Sunday afternoon at St James's Park, it's the return of the Premier League, it's the return of football, it's the return of George's literary diversions; this time, the duality of man. Wor Flags tribute to Kevin Keegan didn't disappoint, and the expected hostility to a certain Swedish striker was also on display.
Once the football started we saw a terrific game; it was a very encouraging performance from a Newcastle squad featuring youth in the engine room, pace up top, but built around a splendid showing from Yoane Wissa.
This being Newcastle, of course we also saw a late, late penalty and a Liverpool equaliser (scored, not by our lacklustre former star, but Dominic Szoboszlai). Are we happy with a point? Not really in the circumstances, but hopes are rising for "2.0".

August 20 Season Preview: Optimism, Signings, & Captain Burn
Here we go, then. Newcastle United 2.0 will be a reality when Liverpool come calling this weekend and the rubber will hit the road... better that than the 5**t hitting the fan.
Proverbs aside, Amar Dedic has signed and with Nico Gonzalez the latest "PL experience" candidate, the transfer business probably isn't done.
How optimistic are we, then? George has been writing about this across the Premier League for The Athletic, and there are some unusual findings.
Read about the hope-o-meter here.

August 17 Pre-season over: Newcastle enter the unknown
Bayer Leverkusen, Internazionale, and FC Strasbourg provided the opposition for the men and women of Newcastle United as St James's Park hosted three games on the VisitMalta Weekender.
We'll hear from women's team manager Tanya Oxtoby on our midweek pod but George and Chris witnessed all the action, if you can call it that, as the club recorded two pre-season defeats and a draw (followed by a catastrophic penalty shootout).

August 13 Jaissle meets the press & Everton rock NUFC in Edinburgh
Newcastle's new manager, Matthias Jaissle, has now arrived in town and had a tour of his new home. He has also met the local press pack, shaking each of them by the hand at his first home press conference.
No sooner had he arrived, though, and he had to leave again, taking his team up to Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium for a pre-season friendly against Everton. Defeat there only served to reinforce ideas that were already in the air about squad depth.
We expect that the squad itself will now be reinforced with a little over two weeks remaining in the summer transfer window. Fullbacks are the obvious priority, but there is also a list of midfielders who could bring some experience to what is currently a young midfield.
Tickets to our live show in October will be available on general sale from https://www.gosforthcivictheatre.co.uk/whats-on from mid-morning on Friday 14th August.

August 09 NUFC Pre-season in Spain & Valencia matchday
Vamos... a thorough PotT round-up of Newcastle United's pre-season tour in Spain as Chris visits La Manga to get a first sight of the new first-choice goalkeeper, Lukas Hornicek, and a semi-proper sit-down with Matthias Jaissle, the man who has now officially replaced Eddie Howe.
We also look over the details of the match against Valencia at the Mestalla as Hornicek played 90 minutes, Anthony Elanga escaped serious injury, and Yoane Wissa gave a positive indication of his form going into the new season. Will their captain be Malick Thiaw? The german centre half pulled on the armband on his birthday.
